Spring Board 2018 – 90% Subsidy Training For Those In Employment

Training Course Information

On 4th June 2018, the Government launched Springboard+ 2018, thus offering 8,088 places on 245 courses leading to awards at certificate, degree and post-graduate level. This scheme facilitates free higher education courses for unemployed persons, those previously self-employed and those returning to work. Additionally (for 2018 entry), courses will now be free for employed people on NFQ Level 6 courses or heavily subsidised for NFQ level 7 – 9, with participants required to contribute just 10% of the fee.

Following lobbying by the Construction Industry Federation, there are now 21 construction-related courses to choose from (compared to just 2 courses for the previous year); the list below is provided to assist you in selecting from the 21 construction-related programs.
